It worked in 2003, can it work in 2011? The Marlins, believing themselves to be contenders despite what the rest of the world was thinking, got rid of manager Jeff Torborg back then to dust off Jack McKeon. Most saw it as a move of desperation at best, but McKeon was able to rally the team to play some of [...]

The good news is the Marlins ended a 23 inning scoreless streak tonight in the 9th inning with a Mike Stanton hit that helped rally the Fish down 2-0. Then the bad news: the Marlins give back a run in the top of the 10th to lose the game. To add Tabasco to the wound, Gaby Sanchez was up with [...]

Really? You don’t even play on the field and you are going to make a punk statement like that? Brian Sabean, apparently drinking from the same punch bowl as Barry Bonds, seems to be incapable of masking his rage. “[Cousins] chose to be a hero in my mind, and if that’s his flash of fame, then that’s as good as [...]

Injuries happen. This is why there are insurance policies and why nothing is guaranteed in sports. No win is guaranteed, and no career is. Scott Cousin’s slide into home that busted up Buster Posey is a part of the game. It was a hard slide, but because the rules call for a tag to be placed on the runner, who [...]

He’s on fire. Anibal Sanchez now has a 3-0 record with a 1.83 ERA in his last six starts, including a 1-0 result this afternoon in Washington. Sanchez was spectacular, striking out 9, and helping push his team forward with another win over their cheeky NL East rivals. Meanwhile the Braves, who had been silently climbing up to meet the [...]

Should you take the blue pill or the red pill? Omar Infante obviously was channeling Neo from the Matrix as he slid into home last night during the 11th inning. His acrobatic move gave the Marlins the go ahead run. It was also the 7th win in a row for the Marlins over the Nats in Washington. The Fish were [...]

May 10, 2011 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry, Regular Season by jonnylons
The Marlins were unable to get a win last night as the Phillies showed they are more than just a pitching rotation in coming back on the Marlins 3-0 lead to take the first game in the series. This means the Marlins will not be able to make up the 2 game lead the Phillies had, but a strong finish [...]

Gaby Sanchez was on fire and got some recognition for it. Last year he finished 4th in the Rookie of the Year campaign but this year he seems to be picking up where he left off. He finished the week with a .464 AVG and a .531 on base percentage for the week. Edwin Rodriguez thinks this is just the [...]
